15 DRAFT & DEBUT By Matt Birch

Each June, the First-Year Player Draft serves as a major crossroad in the lives of hundreds of high school and collegiate baseball players around the country. Being drafted is a major milestone and accomplishment after a lifelong childhood baseball journey including countless hours of practices and games from T-ball through the highest levels of amateur competition. The draft also signifies the beginning of a new journey that will start in the lowest levels of the minor leagues in small towns around the nation. A select amount of those players will reach the ultimate baseball goal and play in the Major Leagues. Outfielder Jo Adell, who turned 21 in April, is ranked by Baseball America as the top prospect in the Angels organization and is the third-highest rated prospect in all of baseball, according to the publication. Many media outlets have projected him to make his Major League debut during the 2020 season. Adell was originally selected by the Angels in first round (10th overall) in the 2017 First-Year Player Draft out of Ballard High School in Louisville, Kentucky. His selection marked the first time the Angels selected an outfielder with their first pick in a draft since 2009 when the club used the first of their back-to-back first round 16 picks on (24th overall), who currently patrols the 2012. His senior season was filled with meetings with Major League outfield for the Blue Jays. scouts and college coaches (he had committed to the University of The Angels second of those back-to-back first round picks in the Louisville before signing with the Angels). 2009 draft was used on a high school outfielder from New Jersey During his senior season, Adell participated in several pre-draft named . workouts, showcases and games with other top projected picks Adell and his family attended the MLB Network studios in from his draft class, including a very memorable pre-draft workout Secaucus, New Jersey when Commissioner Rob Manfred called his at . name in the 2017 draft. “My plane landed in LA a little bit late and that’s not a great first “For me it was a no brainer,” Adell said about attending the draft. impression when you’re running late to your pre-draft workout. I got “I wanted to be there. I wanted the experience and wanted my out of the taxi and realized I forgot baseball pants. I looked out at family to be a part of it. Once you get in the draft room, you start the field and since I was late, guys were already out there stretching wondering where I am going to go and what situation I’ll be in. But in uniform and I come in with a pair of shorts on and a dri-fit shirt. when the time came around and the Angels picked me at 10, it was I thought this can’t be good! But I got out there, met some of the such a sigh of relief and I was just thrilled. All the uncertainty went guys and talked with (Angels General Manager) Billy Eppler. And away and I was just really excited to be a part of the organization.” then I looked up at someone in the stands and it was Trout, who As a child in Louisville, Jo grew up around a very athletic family. was injured at the time and was there watching the players.

His older sister, Jessica – who Jo considers the best you flash forward to the draft and the Angels still picked me!” athlete in the family – was one of the nation’s top players in Following his draft selection, the Adell family made the trip to high school and would go to play at the University of Tennessee and Anaheim to sign his contract, tour Angel Stadium, meet some of the University of Louisville. She also competed on the track and field Angels players and check out the Angels game against the Kansas team at Louisville as a javelin thrower. City Royals that night. He was also interviewed during the game on At Ballard High School, Adell was named the Gatorade Kentucky Fox Sports West and KLAA AM830. Baseball Player of the Year in 2017 after .562 with 25 home “That was a welcoming party for sure. It was awesome. I thought runs, 61 RBI, 22 stolen bases and 53 runs scored in his senior season. I was going to go in and meet a couple people and just watch The 25 home runs led the nation and were four shy of the all-time the game.

17 Adell’s minor league journey began when he made his professional debut with the Angels affiliate in the Rookie- level Arizona Summer League. After playing in 31 games for the AZL Angels, he would be promoted to Rookie-level Orem and help lead the Owlz to a South Division Championship an appearance in the Pioneer League playoffs. “It was a blast to play your first pro season and be able to go from the AZL into that competitive atmosphere with Orem. We had guys like Jr. and and that energy from my teammates and the fans helped me to just relax and play and not be afraid to make mistakes. It was a great way to end the year and that team camaraderie was just unbelievable.” In 2018, Adell started the year with the in the where he was hitting .326 (31/95) when he was called up to Adv.-A Inland Empire in the League where he would appear in 57 games for the 66ers. He would spend the final month of the year with Double-A Mobile. At just 19 years of age, he was five years younger than the average player in the Southern League. “When I got to Double-A, it was different. It was tough and I struggled. Having pro-level coaching and being able to collaborate about making adjustments really helped me to make the jumps that I did. Having the mix between good coaching and my own ability to figure things out on the fly really helped me to move through those three levels that year.” After missing the first two months of the 2019 season with a strained left hamstring and sprained right ankle (both suffered during one play in ), Adell would make stops at the Angels top three affiliates

18 Following the 2019 regular season, Adell competed in the and had the honors of representing Team USA in Olympic qualifying tournaments in Mexico and Japan. “Playing in the Tokyo Dome was an electric experience. The fans are cheering the whole game and all the selfishness that you can have on the baseball field was put aside. We are going in there to win as a team and everyone was locked in. The experience was unreal and that time in Tokyo was one of the better baseball experiences that I’ve ever had.” Entering the 2020 season, Adell is considered by many to be on the doorstep of making his Major League debut. He has attended Major League Spring Training camp in both 2019 and 2020 where he would go through daily practices with members of the Angels 40-man roster including several MLB All-Stars such as and Anthony Rendon as well as three-time MVP winners Mike Trout and Albert Pujols. “The past two big league camps have been a great eye-opening experience. You look around and see the guys that are part of this team and see how much they know and what their routines are. The thing that separates guys like Trout, Pujols and Rendon are how they go about their work and they are consistent. It makes you want to do the same. That’s what I want to do and I want to be the guy that puts it all on the line and is part of a great team.” Although he is just 21 years old, Adell has already started his own foundation, the Jo Adell Foundation, which promotes education, workforce skills, sports, leadership, and health and wellness in the Louisville area. Some of the recent foundation initiatives have included baseball camps, academic challenges, providing haircuts to students who can’t afford to get one and an annual Thanksgiving Dinner event which distributes over 500 Thanksgiving dinners to during the season.

21 ONE QUESTION WITH BILLY EPPLER

You hear so much about prospects in this game. Q How do you view that label on a player?

The word prospect to me means upside A and potential. Sometimes that potential exceeds the forecast. Sometimes it meets the forecast. Sometimes it falls short of the forecast. Creating opportunities and creating bulk is the best way to allow young players to sort of rise to the top and give your 25-man roster that opportunity when those players do get to the big league level. 22

At Milwaukie High School, Middleton was a two-sport star: Baseball and (he also played football). In college, it was more of the same before the Angels selected him in the third- round of the 2013 draft. He signed quickly thereafter and began his pro baseball in career, which was temporarily derailed two years ago after he underwent Tommy John surgery to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. It was a major blow to a blossoming career. As a rookie in 2017, Middleton appeared in his first 64 games. He posted a 3.86 ERA and a 6-1 record. He also recorded three saves. In 2018, Middleton was fulfilling a key role. He pitched to a 2.04 ERA over the first 17.2 innings of that sophomore campaign. He also was not allowing the home run ball, something that hurt him as a rookie, and he was gaining more trust in the late innings with six saves and nine games finished. He returned last year and posted a 1.17 ERA over 11 games pitched after spending 15 months rehabbing the injury. Proud of the successful comeback and proud of his Oregon roots, BORN: Portland, Oregon Angel Magazine looks back at Middleton’s time as a Milwaukie High HIGH SCHOOL: Milwaukie High School in Milwaukie, Oregon School Mustang and a Lane Community College Titan…his Oregon COLLEGE: Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon Trail to the Angels.

Is that a fluke-type stat? A: Not surprising. His fastball is a two-plane ball That is really firm and his breaking ball at times is a plus, plus pitch to get guys out. Q: Baseball requires a great deal of mental strength. How mature was he at that point in his career? A: I would say that’s probably the area he has developed the most. While at Lane most of his attention and passion was towards playing hoops. He happened to have a big league arm and a great athlete. Q: Selected by the Angels in the third round of that summer’s MLB first-year player draft, how much awareness did you have that Keynan was being watched so closely? A: There were a lot of scouts to see him later in the year. At one point I recall counting 26 guys there. He was a little inconsistent at that stage of his career as one week he would throw seven innings with one run and two hits. While the next week he would throw four innings with seven, eight walks.

Q: How much do you describe Keynan’s skills as a two-sport athlete? A: When the Angels took a huge risk in drafting me in the 3rd round. A: I was fortunate to see Keynan play basketball many times during Hard to argue with that. his time at Lane. He was very athletic. He could get to the rim and also shoot it from deep. He was a tough match up for opponents. THE COACHES I only saw him pitch a couple times during the baseball season as Josh Blunt is the baseball at Lane Community College. there was lots of rain the spring he played at Lane. I remember his In his second season on the job, Middleton was on the team, mostly raw talent on the mound and lots of scouts in the stands each time pitching in relief. he pitched. His arm was live and intimidating. Q: Keynan played at Lane in 2013. What were your initial impressions of him as a pitcher? A: I first saw Keynan around December of his senior year (in high school) as he came over for a workout and visit. His arm was electric and he had a very large body that could develop. His breaking ball was so sharp I remember our catcher having a difficult time receiving it. Q: As a 19 year old pitcher, what was his greatest asset? A: I think his athleticism was the most impressive characteristic as he was kind of an unknown baseball player early on. He was a two-sport college athlete as he was also a 1st team All-League basketball player. He could do some things on the field that nobody else could even dream of. I recall him fielding a safety squeeze near the first-base line. He slid in feet first and popped up to then throw a side angle to home. He didn’t get the call but truthfully I thought the called him safe because he had already shifted his eyes and body to first anticipating that there was zero chance of a play at the plate.

TONY AND ALBERT

The Angels hired Tony La Russa over the winter as Senior Advisor, Baseball Operations. In his role, La Russa assists the Angels and Billy Eppler in all areas of baseball operations including Major League player evaluations and minor league development. Elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014, La Russa – now in his 59th season of professional baseball – managed Albert Pujols for 11 seasons with St. Louis.

“I think about Albert and I get a warm feeling, personally and professionally with what kind of person and man and player he is. Coming into spring, into the abbreviated camp, I see him and I start smiling. This guy has not changed though actually he is healthy – healthier than he has been in awhile and (he is in) great shape. I am a little selfish for when he retires, I want to be there in five years and get that chills when he gets inducted (into the Hall of Fame). Will it be unanimous? Traditionally, with his performances in every category, he should be…he will be an outstanding, unanimous choice.” - TONY LA RUSSA TO MLB NETWORK

JOE MADDON ON SHOHEI OHTANI

SHOHEISH IS A VERY RESPECTFUL, VERY POLITE YOUNG MAN. HE READS THE SITUATION THAT HE IS IN QUICKLY AND VERY WELL, AND THAT SPEAKS TO HIS SELF-AWARENESS.

82 INN THET BATTER’S BOX, HE IS EXPLOSIVE. HE IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO IF YOU TURN YOUR BACK TO THE HITTER AND YOU HEAR SOMETHING SPECIAL YOU KNOW IT COULD BE SHOHEI. HE IS LOUD. THE BALL COMES OFF THE BAT LOUD. IT HAS A SPECIAL DEEP – A DEEPER – SOUND THAT MOST POWER HITTERS HAVE AND IT IS EXCITING TO ME IN HOW HE DRIVES THE BALL TO THE GAP AND DOESN’T HAVE TO GAIN HIS POWER FROM HIS PULL SIDE.

ITT IS AN EXTRAORDINARY ARM AND IT IS A BIG ARM. IT IS ALSO AN EASY MOTION. YOU HAVE GUYS WHO ARE MAX EFFORT BUT HE DOES IT EASILY. IT IS AN EASY DELIVERY WHERE THE BALL COMES OUT HOT. SOME FULL, MAX EFFORT GUYS MUST REALLY BUMP AND GRIND TO GET TO THEIR NUMBER. HE DOESN’T. HE IS SMOOTH. THE BALL JUMPS OUT OF HIS HAND. I STILL THINK WE NEED TO BE PATIENT COMING OFF AN INJURY. HE HAS SUCH HIGH-END INCREDIBLE POTENTIAL BUT YOU MUST BE PATIENT.

83 ALUM SPEAK/ANTHONY RENDON

ROD CAREW on what makes Anthony Rendon a great hitter: WellWell it is very impressive the way he generatesgene power. He really allows the ball to get to him and he uses his hands well. Everyone tells a hitter to allow the ball to get deep. Well you have to judge what is deep. Ask yourself what is allowing the ball to get back on you. There is that point where you know it is deep enough that you can get the bat head on it and hit it out of the ballpark. That is what hee dodoeses both very well and consistently.tly.

MARK LANGSTON on what Anthony Rendon brings to the Angels line-up: YoYouu looklo at the line-up and you say to yourself, ‘Wow, how are you goinggoing to maneuver through it?’ As a pitcher you are focused on Trout, who is so patient, and then to Rendon, who too is a very patient hithitter,ter, the A.L. West pitchers really have a big challenge in front of them.m.

QUICK WITT

MIKE WITT, a decade-long Angels mainstay and local product stands tall as one of the most dominant pitchers in club history. He is also a member of the Angels Hall of Fame. A graduate of , at time of his Angels Hall of Fame induction (2015), the two-time All-Star ranked fourth on the club’s all-time list in wins (109), starts (272) & strikeouts (1,283) and third in complete games (70) & innings pitched (1,965.1).

In 1986, he shouldered the Angels to the American League Championship Series with the best season of his career, posting a record of 18-10 with a 2.84 ERA. Witt’s most impressive individual accomplishment, however, came on the last game of the 1984 season at when he became one of only 13 pitchers in history to throw a perfect game, striking out 10 en route to a memorable 1-0 victory.

Angels alum Clyde “Skeeter” Wright is an author and he is sharing his book with Angel Magazine! A former 20-game winner for the club, long-time contributor to the local baseball community and Angels ambassador, the affable Wright worked with his son Jaret and writer Brian Honea to pen ‘Baseball The Wright Way,’ which can be purchased at retail bookstores, Amazon and online merchants. “The reason I wrote the book was because people really love baseball stories and everybody knows I always have a story or two to tell. They would always ask for more, and I heard more than once that I should write a book because I had so many,” said Wright. “When my son, Jaret, was done playing we decided to get together and do it. It was fun listening to each other’s stories. Comparing differences and similarities and stars of the different eras of baseball. It was interesting, though, that even though we played in different eras our thought processes while pitching was basically the same.” This month, Clyde and his wife Vicki share the Chapter entitled ‘Joining the Famous Club.’

JOINING THE FAMOUS CLUB Every pitcher dreams of throwing a no-hitter. On July 3, 1970, I joined that famous club in baseball, which I never thought would ever happen. An average of two no-hitters are thrown per season, and now I had one of them. I came close on August 20, 1968, when I combined with for a one-hitter against Baltimore. I relieved Clark in the third inning with the bases loaded, and to that point, the only hit he had allowed was a single to . I pitched the final six and a third innings and did not allow a hit. We were behind 2–1 until the fourth, when we scored five to take the lead for good. I walked in the fourth and scored on Fregosi’s bases-loaded double. I added an RBI single in the eighth to score Satriano and we won, 7–2. The representatives from the NAIA came out to Anaheim Stadium for our game against the Oakland As on July 3, 1970, and they inducted me into the NAIA Hall of Fame before the game. At that time, the Angels had a pitching coach by the name of . I went down and warmed up, and Sherry said, “Why don’t you just throw a no-hitter, and you can go in both Halls of Fame the same night?” And it actually happened. Joe Azcue was the catcher for my no-hitter, and it was the second one that he caught. He had been the catcher in ’s no- hitter for Cleveland against the Washington Senators in ’66. Joe was just outstanding. We were on the same page all night. I don’t think I shook him off but maybe twice out of the 98 pitches. He’d put down the finger and say, “Come on, big guy! Throw it!” He always called everybody big guy. 90 CLEAN ENERGy drink THE WRIGHT STUFF

I said, “I’m it. I’m the big guy!” I pitched almost the entire game with the lead after my teammates got me a run early. The third batter of the game for us, Fregosi, scored Repoz with an RBI groundout to put us up 1–0 in the first inning. In the fourth, Kenny McMullen gave us some insurance with a three-run homer against Chuck Dobson. I retired the first 12. As of the game before I walked to start the top of the fifth. He moved to second on a grounder, but he was stranded there. In the third inning, hit a line drive right back to me, and I caught it. If I don’t catch it, it’s probably a base hit up the middle. McMullen made two or three good plays for us at third base. Fregosi made an over-the-shoulder catch, running from shortstop out to shallow left field on a pop-up hit by Tony LaRussa in the sixth. After the sixth inning, it was like I had bad breath. I was on one end of the dugout, and all my teammates were on the other end, and nobody was talking to me. When I got to the seventh inning, I looked up, and it was all zeroes. I went back out there for the eighth inning, My no-hitter was the second one for the Angels in their nine years and when I got through that, I still had zeroes. And I was going back of existence, but it was the first one ever thrown at Anaheim Stadium. for the ninth inning thinking, ‘If somebody messes this up, I’m gonna had thrown one for the Angels back in ’62, but that was at drill ’em from now on every time I get a chance to face him!’ , which was the Angels’ home field at the time. There It happened so quickly in the ninth inning. I walked the first guy, were actually four no-hitters thrown in 1970—first there was Dock Ellis Frank Fernandez, who was a . The next hitter was Bert of the Pirates, then mine, then Bill Singer of the Dodgers, and Vida Campaneris, and he hit a line drive to Fregosi on the first pitch. Then Blue of the As. Three years later, Singer was later my teammate with I threw one more pitch to , and he hit into a 6-4-3 double the Angels. The Angels in 1973 had three pitchers on the team who had play started by Fregosi, and it was all over. The whole game took thrown no-hitters—me, Nolan Ryan, and Singer. just one hour and 51 minutes to play. I faced 27 batters, only two Not too long after I threw the no-hitter, I talked to my father on over the minimum. the phone, which was something I didn’t do very often. We had those old phones where you rotary-dialed the number, and I got him on the phone, and I said, “You’ll never guess what happened. I threw a no-hitter against Oakland.” He didn’t know very much about baseball. He said, “I thought you were a better hitter than that!” He didn’t understand what a no-hitter was. The funny thing was, I thought I pitched a lot better in other games than I pitched in the no-hitter. I had games where I’d give up a couple of runs, and I thought I threw the ball really well. But in the no-hitter, every time I would make a pitch, they would hit it right at somebody. Out of 27 outs, I only had one strikeout, and that was Reggie Jackson to end the top of the fourth. They put it in play twenty-six times out of those 27 outs, and we got in the way of it 26 times. That was pretty good odds. I got 15 outs on ground balls and 11 on fly balls, pop-ups, or line drives. In the weeks following the no-hitter, when all the different clubs would come into Anaheim, the sportswriters would want to interview me. But the one thing that I distinctly remember about that was I 92 THE WRIGHT STUFF got a package through the mail from Charlie O. Finley, the owner of the Oakland Athletics. It was a brand-new Bulova watch. Charlie O. had sent me the watch and put it on it, “Nice job.” I still have it. A few days after I threw my no-hitter, Don Sutton sent me a telegram to congratulate me. It said, “Congratulations on a great job. You’re one up on me, ex-roomie.” He never threw a no-hitter, but he did throw five one-hitters, and he won 324 games in the major leagues. He won his 300th game while playing for the Angels in 1986, and later he was voted into the Hall of Fame. Jay Johnstone, our center fielder, said he went up over the wall to rob Reggie Jackson of a home run. He’d tell that story for 25 or 35s, and I finally got tired of him exaggerating. So, I put a stop to that. I got the tape from Channel 5, and I sent it to him. He was standing flat-footed on the warning track catching the fly ball. He didn’t climb the wall. It turned out that Johnstone wasn’t the only one who had trouble remembering what happened in the no-hitter. When I had the pitching school in Anaheim at Home Run Park, one day the hitting I said, “I don’t remember him walking all those guys, and I don’t instructor, Darrell Darrow, called me and said, “You have to come remember a .” down here and listen to this dude.” He said, “You must have had a bad seat. Were you there?” So, I went up there and met the guy, and he said he was there the I said, “Yeah, I was there. I had a pretty good seat.” night I threw the no-hitter. Except he didn’t know who I was. He said, “Where were you?” He said, “Boy, they pulled off the neatest triple play that I’ve ever I said, “I was the guy standing on the mound!” seen in baseball.” And I knew right then he was lying. I stuck my hand out to shake hands with him. He never shook my I said, “They pulled off a triple play?” hand. He went out in the parking lot, and I never saw that dude again. He said, “Yeah!” Clyde won 100 games during his time in the Majors. He was an All- I said, “How did all those guys get on base if he threw a no-hitter?” Star with the Halos in 1970 – a season that saw him win 22 games, a He said, “I guess he walked ’em all.” career-high, and toss a no-hitter versus Oakland. He first joined the Angels when the club selected him in the 1965 amateur draft. Jaret pitched for five teams during his 11-year big league career from 1997-07. He pitched in the postseason six times including the with the Indians as a rookie. He was born in Anaheim and went to Katella High School.

MMR.R. PPRESIDENTRESIDENT Richard Nixon and the Angels

Richard Milhous Nixon, in addition to serving as the 37th President in U.S. history, was an avid baseball fanatic. And there is little doubt that when it came to baseball and politics, President Nixon held – and continues to hold – the title of number one fan-in-chief. Born in Yorba Linda in 1913, Mr. Nixon attended his first big league game in 1936 (on July 4 no less) when as a Duke University law student he travelled to Washington D.C. to see the Senators play the Yankees, which featured Joe DiMaggio and no less. He returned to practice law in California after graduating from Duke and was later elected to the House of Representatives and then Congress before serving as the nation’s 36th Vice President from 1953-61. It was also in 1961 that the Angels began play as the newest addition to the American League. Mr. Nixon enjoyed a tremendous friendship with Angels Founder and Original Owner Gene Autry. In 1966, the Angels began play at Anaheim Stadium, and that was just two years before Mr. Nixon ran for the presidency again and was elected, defeating Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace in a close election. In later years Nixon was often a visitor to Anaheim Stadium where he attended the Angels 1979 division clinching victory over the Royals and joined the Angels’ clubhouse celebration. During the party, a photographer captured Bobby Grich drenching the former President with beer. He passed away on April 22, 1994 in and was buried on the grounds of the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda, at the side of his First Lady, on April 27, 1994. The eulogists at his State Funeral were President Bill Clinton, Senator Robert Dole, California Governor Pete Wilson, and his second Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger. The Nixon Library is sharing an array of baseball photos that reflect Mr. Nixon’s love of baseball.
